Buying a cat bed: the perfect sleeping spot for your cat

Cats sleep an average of 12 to 16 hours a day, so a comfortable cat bed is not a luxury but a necessity. At Bopets you will find cat beds in all shapes and sizes: from round nest beds and oval beds to flat cushions and sheltered igloo beds. All with soft filling and washable covers.

Which cat bed suits your cat?

The ideal cat bed depends on the sleeping position, size and character of your cat.

Choosing the right size cat bed

A bed that is too small is uncomfortable, while one that is too large offers too little security. Use these guidelines:

📏
Size S (35-40 cm)
Suitable for kittens and small cat breeds up to 3 kg. A donut bed or round nest bed in size S provides the safe, cosy feeling young cats need.
🐱
Size M (45-50 cm)
The most popular size for adult cats of 3 to 6 kg. Fits most European Shorthair, Siamese and similar breeds. Choose a nest bed or oval bed.
🐈
Size L (55-60 cm)
For larger breeds such as British Shorthair or Ragdoll (6-8 kg). An oval bed or flat cushion provides sufficient lying space for these sturdy cats.
🦁
Size XL (60+ cm)
Especially for large breeds such as Maine Coon and Norwegian Forest Cat (8+ kg). Choose an extra spacious oval bed or XL nest bed. Combine with a sturdy cat tree.

Maintaining your cat bed

A clean cat bed is important for your cat's health. Most beds at Bopets have a removable, washable cover that can be machine washed at 30 °C. We recommend washing the cover every two weeks and airing the filling monthly. Use a lint roller to remove cat hair between washes.

Where to place the cat bed?

The ideal spot for a cat bed is a quiet, draught-free location at a slightly elevated position. Cats prefer sleeping in a warm spot with a view of the room. Avoid spots directly next to the litter box, food bowl or speakers. Many cats appreciate a spot by the window, where they can watch the outside while resting.

Cat beds for indoor cats

Indoor cats spend all their time indoors and deserve an extra comfortable sleeping spot. Choose a bed with soft, heat-insulating filling and a washable cover, indoor cats use it more than outdoor cats. Place multiple resting spots at different locations in the house: by the window, next to the heating and in a quiet spot. Combine the cat bed with a cat tree and cat toys for a complete indoor cat life. Do not forget the cat litter, a clean tray next to a nice sleeping spot keeps your cat happy.

Combining cat bed with cat tree and toys

Create the perfect cat corner by combining a comfortable cat bed with a sturdy cat tree and fun cat toys. This way your cat has everything in one spot: sleeping, scratching and playing.

Frequently asked questions cat beds

What is the best cat bed for my cat?
Most cats prefer enclosed beds that offer warmth and security. Observe your cat: does it curl up (choose a round bed with edges) or stretch out (choose a flat mat)? Place it in a warm, quiet spot.
What size cat bed does my cat need?
The bed should be large enough for your cat to curl up or stretch out. For an average cat, an internal diameter of 40 to 50 cm is sufficient. For large breeds, choose 50 to 60 cm.
Where should I place a cat bed?
In a warm, quiet, draught-free spot. Cats like elevated positions, so a bed on a shelf or windowsill is popular. Avoid placing it near the litter box or food bowl.
Are the cat beds from Bopets washable?
Most cat beds in our range have a removable, washable cover. Check the product description for specific washing instructions. We recommend washing at 30 degrees every 2 to 4 weeks.
Does my cat need a heated bed?
A heated bed can be beneficial for older cats, cats with arthritis, or hairless breeds. Healthy adult cats regulate their temperature well and usually do not need extra heating.
How do I get my cat to use the new bed?
Place the bed in your cat's favourite spot. Add a familiar blanket or item with their scent. Sprinkle some catnip on it. Be patient; some cats need a few days to accept a new bed.
What is the difference between a cat bed and a cat cave?
A cat bed is open with raised edges. A cat cave is fully enclosed with a small opening, offering more warmth and hiding space. Many cats feel safer in a cave-style bed.
